exhibition
Featuring new and significant works, this exhibition is the first full-scale European survey presenting the collaborative artistic practice of Lubaina Himid RA CBE and Magda Stawarska. Conceived as a performance, the exhibition emerges from a decade-long dialogue between British painter Lubaina Himid (1954, Zanzibar), a leading figure of the British Black Arts Movement, and multidisciplinary Polish artist Magda Stawarska (1976, Ruda Śląska, Poland), whose practice combines moving image, soundscapes, and screen printing. In their exhibition "Nets for Night and Day", memory unfolds as a score narrated through paintings and drawings, as well as sculpture, silkscreen printing, photography, and sound installation. Visitors will find themselves on a journey aboard ships, venturing across carts, ambling into dreamscapes rendered by the artists' collective imagination. At the heart of the exhibition is a newly imagined presentation of "Zanzibar" (1999-2023), composed of nine diptychs by Himid floating rhythmically in space and entering into dialogue with a 38-minute sound piece conceived by Stawarska as a 'libretto' for the paintings. Each of them, an abstraction at first, presents codified clues into Himid's life. Associated with sound fragments that evoke her personal history, "Zanzibar" reflects on the multifaceted notions of belonging, loss, and memory. During this conversation, exhibition curator Omar Kholeif and Mudam director Bettina Steinbrügge will examine the work of artists Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska and provide them with a platform to elaborate on their practices. This talk will invite the audience to gain a better understanding of their work and stance, offering the opportunity to ask questions to delve deeper into the exhibition.
